[Naruto] It turns out you are the tail end of the crane

The long wind blew up the fallen cherry blossoms piled on the road.

Konoha's iconic gate stands squarely within sight. After years of baptism, it has become mottled and vicissitudes of life.

The three of them slowed down their pace, stood on the tree trunk, looked at the door just a short distance away, and smiled at each other.

Finally home.

Looking from a distance, there were indeed a few scattered people guarding the door waiting for the returning ninjas.

Yuzuye's eyes lit up.

She walked around the crowd expectantly, then hung her head in frustration.

——Obito did not come as promised.

Yuye:......

What, how could this person be like this?

Did you go to help some old lady again?

Even though he knew that being late was his habitual problem, the feeling of loss still surged like a wave from the depths of Yuzuha's heart.

She sighed and tugged at the hanging cloth strap of her backpack angrily.

The tacit understanding honed on the battlefield allowed Nakajima Dai to see her dejection with keen eyes.

He tried to suggest: "Yuye, do you want to come to my house for dinner?"

But I guess there is a high probability that I won’t go.

Nakajima Dai: Oh.

Hearing what he said, Yu Ye raised her eyelids with no interest and refused: "Let's forget it..."

Having known this for a long time, Nakajimayo shrugged indifferently.

He put his hands behind his head and turned to look at another black-haired girl, "What about Huaye?"

Hua Ye was even less interested in going to Nakajima's house for dinner, "I want to go back and take care of..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and waved in a certain direction, shouting: "Brother!"

Yuye followed her voice and looked.

At the end of the field of vision was a little boy holding the door frame with both hands. He stood with great effort, as if he would fall down the next moment.

Unlike Huaye's healthy body, her brother has always looked sickly.

Seeing her younger brother who depended on her for life, Ka Ye couldn't wait to leave Nakajima Dairo, leaving only a few green leaves that were shaken by the air current and slowly floated down.

The next second, her figure appeared at the gate.

Hua Ye stretched out her hands and hugged the little boy in her arms, leaned close to his little face and kissed him, "Why did you come here by yourself?"

The child with black hair like Huaye did not speak.

He smirked and gently touched his sister's hair.

"Yeah! It seems like her brother is in a lot of energy," Nakashimayo smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's time for me to go back and see my little one."

...little bastard?

Yuye rolled her eyes slightly and asked with a hint of confusion: "Teacher, haven't you given a name yet?"

"Well... it's probably because I'm too busy." Nakajima smiled and touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

We seem to have forgotten to name our son, Liuhua!

Nakashimayo quickly remembered another thing.

He looked at his subordinates and asked: "By the way, Yuzuha, do you want to go together to see Mr. Hinata Goshin tomorrow?"

Recalling Tachibana's appearance again, Yuzuye closed her eyes and said softly: "Well... I should go."

Nakajima Dai patted her shoulder: "Don't feel too guilty."

Yuzu pursed her lips and smiled, looking at her teacher firmly, "It's okay, I just... hate war so much."

So no matter what, she didn't want to experience a second war.

……

Perhaps because she returned to her homeland, or perhaps because the killings and blood were temporarily far away from her, Yuye regained some of her original vitality.

After saying goodbye to the teacher, Yuye looked at the pedestrians passing by and suddenly had an idea.

She wanted to see when Uchiha Obito, the late king of the world, would arrive.

However, she stood stupidly at the gate and waited for a long time, not even seeing half of Obito's shadow, only the desolate look of the cool wind blowing through the leaves.

Yuzuha:...Did he forget about me?

A cross deftly jumped onto her forehead.

Bastard crane tail!

Bastard Uchiha Obito!

The next time I see him, I must make him stand on one hand and walk five hundred times around Konoha, and I must invite Kakashi and Lin to watch together.

But after the anger, what is left is endless disappointment.

Yuye took one last look at the empty streets and walked towards the clan grounds in extreme depression.

Curtains printed with the Tuanfan clan emblem appeared and disappeared in front of her eyes one after another.

The proud Uchiha clan has always liked to print their clan emblems all over the streets.

Although by their generation, it has begun to gradually decline.

After walking for a while, Yuye discovered something surprising - there were familiar and unfamiliar tribesmen who came to greet her along the way.

Why didn't she remember that the Uchiha people were so enthusiastic?

While he was thinking about it, the aunt next door reached out to stop Yuye and started a new round of greetings.

Yuye:......

This sudden concern made her a little overwhelmed.

After some family gossip, the aunt congratulated her with a smile: "Congratulations, Yuzuha, for opening your Sharingan."

Yuzuye's face turned pale at that moment.

She smiled sadly, then turned her head away wordlessly.

The aunt thought she was shy, as if she felt that the heat was almost over, so she asked, "Are you interested in meeting my son?"

Yuzu waved her hands feebly: "No."

The rejected aunt's face dropped, and she pulled Yu Ye's sleeve angrily: "My son is much better than that orphan..."

Yu Ye was instantly angry: "Stop talking!"

Just when Yuzuha was about to get angry, a slightly childish voice came from behind and interrupted the unpleasant conversation between the two, "Are you Yuzuha Uchiha?"

Taking advantage of the gap when the aunt was stunned, Yuye quickly took her hand away from her.

The person who came was a child with a childish face, but a Konoha forehead protector had been tied to his forehead.

It seems that he is another child who was urged to graduate by the war.

She looked at the boy with slightly curly hair in front of her curiously and nodded: "It's me."

The child put on a shallow smile and stretched out his hand towards her, "I am Uchiha Shisui, please give me your advice."

It is the Shisui in Mingjing Shishui.

"I'm Yu Ye, please give me some advice." Yu Ye also stretched out a hand and shook it back weakly, "What can I do for you?"

"It's not a big deal, please don't be nervous." Shisui replied with his black and white eyes open.

In Yu Ye's doubtful look, he paused and then said: "The clan leader asked you to come over."

"Me?" Youye frowned, "Really?"

In Yuzuha's impression, Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader and captain of the Konoha Guard, does not seem like a person who likes to deal with children.

He was serious in speech, and whenever he sat there, he would emit a heavy air pressure invisibly.

So she seriously suspected that this Uchiha Shisui was entertaining herself.

Zhisui smiled slightly: "It's true, please come with me."

The patriarch's home is just a few turns away.

Yuzuha has been there before.

From a distance, she saw the patriarch in a bathrobe standing under the swaying flower tree at the door.

He folded his arms and was looking up at the petals flying in the wind.

After hearing the footsteps of Yuzuha and Shisui, his slightly scrutinizing eyes slowly moved from mid-air to the two children.

Yu Ye subconsciously patted her coat that was stained with dust.

"You just came home, right? I'm sorry to call you here at this time," Fugaku looked at her and said calmly, "Don't worry."

Yuye lowered her head slightly and looked away from him, "Yes."

Fugaku said no more. He turned sideways and made way for him: "Please come in."

When passing by a pond with several red carps, Yuzuo caught a glimpse of a small dumpling wearing black short-sleeves from the corner of his eye.

He turned sideways and was concentrating on staring at the calm water with his chin on his cheek, putting on an expression that was completely inconsistent with his age.

Their footsteps as they came were light and did not attract his attention.

The running water was gurgling, and the frightened deer knocked on the rocks. The crisp sound startled a few red fish to shake their tail fins, and the originally calm pond immediately started to ripple.

This is the age when you should be outside playing and running around.

But this child chose to sit quietly by the pond and watch the fish.

Yuye stopped unconsciously and turned her head to take a few more glances.

"This is my eldest son, named Itachi." Fugaku noticed her curiosity, so he turned his head and explained to her in a low voice.

He stood still with his hands behind his back, a rare smile and pride appearing on his serious face all year round.

Uchiha Itachi.

Yuye recited it silently, then quickly looked away, following the clan leader's footsteps to a Japanese room.

Zhisui also stopped at this moment. He smiled politely at them and said, "Master Patriarch, I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you now."

Fugaku nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

And there is a light fragrance burning in the room.

Yuzuha knelt down in front of Fugaku and lowered his head respectfully.

Her long hair hung down on both sides of her face, blocking her expression.

Soon, a man's rich voice sounded in her ears: "I'm sorry about your brother."

"You have to take good care of his eyes."

Yuye lowered her eyes, her expression calm, but her little finger curled up by her side was trembling slightly.

"I heard that you have opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. You are indeed Akatsuki's sister."

"I hope that with such ability, you can serve us Uchiha well. You must remember that no matter when and where you are, you have this proud surname."

Not for the village, but for the Uchiha.

The oppressive and dull atmosphere in the room made Yuzu dare not breathe loudly, and the cold sweat on her back snaked down her spine.

She tightly grasped the clothes hanging down by her side, lowered her head and responded in a low voice: "Yes."

……

It has to be said that Fugaku's words about the family put great pressure on Yuzuha.

When I walked out of his house, it was already evening.

The cool evening breeze flows along the long street.

The children returning home were laughing and playing, staggering towards her.

"Be careful."

The boy wearing goggles stretched out a hand to stop the playful children.

The familiar voice brought Yuzu back to her senses instantly.

She stared at him blankly, the corners of her mouth turning up uncontrollably, "Obito!"

What disappointment, what anger, what handstand...

Everything in Yu Ye's heart instantly turned into ashes and was annihilated.

The surprise of seeing him was enough to cover up those trivial emotions.

After not seeing him for half a year, the boy had grown a lot taller, but he was still dressed in the familiar clothes.

Wearing goggles on his face, he was wearing his favorite blue jacket with a stand-up collar.

Obito straightened up, biting the lollipop and smiled sheepishly at her: "Sorry, Yuzuha, I seem to be late."

In fact, it doesn't matter anymore, those things.

But Yuzuha still pretended to be angry. She jumped to his side in a few steps and patted his shoulder as hard as usual, "Obito, it's not like you are late again."

There seemed to be a "click" somewhere.

Yuye unconsciously covered her arm, and the excruciating pain made her vision go dark.

Obito didn't take it seriously. He was walking in front and didn't know anything about Yuzuha's situation.

He put his hands behind his head and responded with a smile: "Yuye, heroes always appear late!"

Yuzuye didn't hear this man's quibbles at all. Her steps were frivolous, and after staggering forward a few steps, she bumped into his back.

Obito:! ?

He was startled by this sudden situation, and he grabbed Yuye who was about to fall in a panic: "Yuye, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

The second sharp pain in her arm made Yuzu break into a cold sweat.

She looked pale and moved her lips towards Obito, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Obito was confused: "...Huh?"

Seeing that Yu Ye was about to collapse again, he hurriedly shook her shoulders and shed tears at will.

Yuzu rolled her eyes in pain.

"You, you, you must not die, Yuye, what should I do?"

Obito tremblingly stretched out his arms to hug her, crying so hard that his whole face was buried in her arms.

Yuzuha: ...She will also cry because of this idiot.

After the initial wave of pain passed, Yuzuha finally had some strength to breathe.

She took a deep breath, resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and sighed: "I'm not dead, but if Obito doesn't get up... my hand will be broken."

W-what? Is Yuzuha's hand going to be broken?

Wait...wait, great! It turns out Yuzuye is not dead yet!

Obito immediately burst into laughter. He quickly sat up and accidentally bit the lollipop in his mouth into pieces.

"Your hands..." Yu Ye reminded coolly.

Obito quickly let go of the hand holding her, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red, "Nana, I, I, I, I will take you to the hospital right now! You must hold on, Yuzuha!"

Yuye looked at the tears and snot on her clothes and nodded in amusement.

A little disgusted but also a little touched?

When the two people slowly moved to the hospital, the sky was already dark.

The medical ninja on duty carefully inspected Yuzuha's arm and sighed with amazement: "Who set your bones? They haven't grown well yet. This is too irresponsible."

Yuzuha choked for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "It's Mr. Nakajima."

"Nakashimayo?" The medical ninja couldn't help laughing: "No wonder..."

Yuzuha:...?

May I ask why you can smile so happily?

"It was an emergency..." Yuzuye squeezed out an explanation through her teeth, trying to clear her teacher's name.

The medical ninja smiled enough and waved his hand, "Ah, I know, you get injured on the battlefield, right? I just remembered the past of studying with him..."

Obito quickly interrupted the medical staff's recollection: "Well, what should I do now?"

The medical ninja replied: "This is easy to handle. Just interrupt again and take over."

Hearing these words, Yu Ye's face turned pale several times.

She raised her eyes dullly: "...Is there no other way?"

"No," green chakra floated on the palm of the medical ninja's hand, and he comforted him kindly: "Don't worry, my hand is very steady."

Yuye: "..."

Thank you, actually I am not comforted at all.

"Then let's get started," she frowned depressedly and gritted her teeth, "I can bear it."

The pain of breaking the bone again far exceeded the pain of the first time. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to make Yuzu groan in pain.

In a daze, she seemed to have returned to that hazy day.

She was pushed to the ground, unable to struggle.

"Are you okay, Yuzuye, do you want some candy?"

Obito's slightly worried voice broke through the fog and pulled her out of the chaos.

After calming down, Yuye immediately put away her absent-minded look.

She glanced at the candy Obito handed over with tearful eyes, turned her head and raised her chin: "...No."

Obito, however, couldn't help but stuff the unwrapped lollipop into her mouth, "You can try the one that's not too sweet."

It's actually very sweet, with the sweetness mixed with fruit filling the air.

She raised her head in confusion and saw the boy's brilliant smile again.

It turns out this time it’s mango flavored.

……

It was already very late when we came out of the hospital, and the two of them walked down the street one after another.

The fatigue caused by traveling all night kept attacking Yuzuye's nerves. She followed Obito step by step, feeling that she would lie down at any time.

"Isn't the war on your side very cruel?" Obito seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head and spoke to the sleepy Yuzuha.

Hearing his voice, Yuzu shivered unexpectedly.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed her face, trying to look awake, "Actually, it's not bad."

If you think about it carefully, the task that their class does most is investigation.

Cool breeze.

Yuzuha's voice was full of tiredness, which made Obito startled.

He turned around and saw, not surprisingly, the confusion on the girl's face.

She looked like she could sleep anywhere, anytime.

"Let me carry you back, Yuzuha."

Yu Ye lowered her head and took a look.

Unexpectedly, Obito had half-crouched in front of her, and the dim streetlight stretched his shadow very long.

"Ah."

This time, Yuye did not refuse.

In the past six months, she missed Obito very much.

Even though she knew that her feelings for him were so inappropriate, her little selfishness still made Yuzu couldn't help but want to get close to this warm boy.

After stepping on the edge of life and death, Yuzu cherishes her current peace extremely.

Yuzuha knew in her heart that if the war did not end, then this slow crane tail would one day be sent to a cruel battlefield like herself.

So take this opportunity to get closer.

With this thought in mind, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

The young man carried her smoothly on his back and walked slowly along the road to the tribe.

"After such a long time, Yuzuha must be very tired," Obito's voice sounded again, "Then take a good rest."

"Ah."
